About Us

We are transforming construction through revolutionary
Modular Building Technology (MBT)
.

Inspired by empowering individuals through personal, high-quality building, our mission is to

create spaces that are intuitive, resilient, and rapidly deployed. We operate with an
Intense and

Scrappy
ethos, pursuing
Scale
in everything we do, guided by our
MBT Focus
to
Make Something People Love
. This is where
Factory-born precision
meets the seamless assembly of a LEGO

system.

The Opportunity: Engineering Modular Excellence

We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated
Senior MEP Design Engineer
to spearhead the design, standardization, and integration of Electrical and HVAC systems into our modular blocks. You will be crucial in ensuring our systems are factory-precise, easily connected on-site, cost

effective, and fully aligned with our core principle of
Intuitive Assembly
.

Key Responsibilities

1. Design, Engineering & Standardization

• Modular System Design (Electrical):
  Lead the design and development of standardized, scalable, and pre-wired modular electrical systems, including lighting, power distribution (LV panels, circuits), fire alarm systems, and low-voltage systems, ensuring
  Poka-Yoke
  (mistake proofing) principles for on-site connections.
• Modular System Design (HVAC):
  Design high-efficiency, compact, and standardized
  HVAC solutions
  (e.g., decentralized split/VRF systems, ventilation) suitable for modular integration, focusing on energy performance and seamless mechanical connection points between modules.
• Engineering Calculations:
  Execute and validate detailed engineering calculations, including:
• Electrical:
  Load schedules, short-circuit calculations, cable sizing, voltage drop analysis, lighting lux levels, and earthing/lightning protection.
• HVAC:
  Heat load calculations (ASHRAE/IS standards), duct sizing, fan selection, and air flow distribution plans.

2. Commercial & Quality Control

• Rate Analysis & Estimation:
  Perform comprehensive cost and
  Rate Analysis
  for all Electrical and HVAC components and assemblies to support competitive pricing for tenders and B2B projects, prioritizing value engineering for scale.
• BOM & Quality Check:
  Generate, verify, and check the accuracy of
  Bills of Materials (BOM)
  and technical specifications to ensure
  Factory-born precision
  and consistency, eliminating material wastage and ensuring procurement aligns with design intent.
• Drawing & Documentation Check:
  Be the final check authority for all design layouts, shop drawings, and as-built documents to ensure compliance with relevant international (IEC, ASHRAE, etc.) and national codes.

3. Leadership & Project Management

• MEP Team Leadership (Tenders & B2B):
  Act as the
  MEP Technical Lead
  for tender submissions, B2B project proposals, and client discussions, responsible for formulating the MEP strategy and execution plan.
• Cross-functional Collaboration:
  Work intensively with the Architectural, Structural, and Manufacturing teams to ensure the MEP systems integrate seamlessly into the modular blocks, upholding our
  Team Spirit
  core value.
• Innovation & Improvement:
  Proactively identify and resolve technical design and manufacturing issues, ensuring that the MEP systems enhance the user experience and support our rapid construction timeline (
  Speeding up construction
  ).

Qualifications & Core Values Alignment

• Education:
  Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience:
  6+ years of progressive experience in MEP design, specifically involving Electrical and HVAC systems, with significant prior experience in
  modular construction, prefabrication, or off-site manufacturing.
• Technical Skills:
  Proficiency in relevant design software (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit MEP, DIALux/Relux, HAP/Trace 700).
• Values Alignment:
  Must be driven by our Core Values, embracing the belief that
  Scale is Magic
  and possessing the mindset that
  Nothing is someone else's problem
  . A strong commitment to our
  MBT Focus
  is essential.

Team - Core Values

M.B.T focus (Modular Building Technology)

We are committed to building fast, safe, intuitive beneficial MBT that will have a massive positive impact on people's future.

Anything that doesn't help with that is out of scope.

Intense and scrappy

Building something exceptional requires hard work (often on unglamorous stuff) and urgency; everything that we choose to do) is important.

Be unpretentious and do what works; find the best ideas wherever they come from.

Scale

We believe that scale—in our models, our systems, ourselves, our processes, and our ambitions—is magic. When in doubt, scale it up.

Make something people love

Our technology and products should have a transformative positive effect on people's lives.

Team spirit

Our biggest advances and differentiation come from effective collaboration in and across teams. Although our teams have increasingly different identities and priorities, the overall purpose and goals have to remain perfectly aligned.

Nothing is someone else's problem.
